Virtualization with VirtualBox, Sun's platform
"

One of the most interesting platforms when testing is VirtualBox virtualization, the virtualization platform of Sun Microsystems

. VirtualBox is on version 3.0.6 and is a program to provide full virtualization of operating systems that can install both Windows, Mac and Linux. Simplicity is one of the greatest advantages for the user you want begin to know virtualization.

VMware Server
We offers its products under license
PUEL (Personal Use and Evaluation License

), fully functional and can be used domestically for our purposes to virtualize an operating system on our home computers. Another question would be whether we already use this software professionally for virtualization in business. Let's start to come in as first and foremost we start by
download VirtualBox
.

To perform this test facility to create a virtual machine operating system use a computer host is installed Ubuntu 9.04 as guest system Windows 7
. For Windows 7 will relent 1 GB RAM

and we asked during the installation space for recommended installation of 20 GB. To make it even easier to install virtual box version we have in the Synaptic package manager of Ubuntu.

Once installed, start by creating a virtual machine, for it simply just press the menu option, new start with our selection of options in a wizard that will guide us to create virtual machines.
We first select the type of operating system, Windows, Linux, Solaris,

In the latter case it will open a new wizard to select the amount of space we give to the hard drive and that directory is hosted. In the choice of hardware will always have some recommendations and if

wrong once created the virtual machine can change
resources. In this case, as noted above, we should give a space of 20 GB to create the virtual hard disk. The virtual hard disk you can host on our hard drive in an external or network drive.

already have our machine virtual set, which is the same as if we had assembled a computer from scratch, now we have to reinstall your operating system . This can be done in the traditional way, by introducing an installation CD that will recognize our readers well and when you start the machine will start the installation. The other option is to select a *. iso image of our operating system we have saved on your hard disk. It is very simple since we see a first run wizard

that allow us to choose how we want to install.

If we did everything right, to end the wizard starts the installation of your operating system. Installations on virtual machines are made in the usual way so you have to be prepared with the operating system license, in our case, Windows 7. The first thing we ask is to select the language. We mark with the mouse the selected options and once we see that
the mouse is trapped in the installation window
Windows 7 and not be moved to the rest of our desktop. So we must press the Control key on the right of the keyboard and the mouse can move the rest of our normal desktop.

Once the operating system installation and set up your machine virtual
we will proceed to install a few options that will improve our experience with virtualization
. In the first place will qualify that part of the memory you allocate to the video and enable 3D acceleration. Then in the sound section was selected as the driver Alsa and enable it. Finally we should assign to share folders between the two systems.

Instalación Sistema Operativo VMware

To work sharing
folders the folder you created on the host computer must be shared by Samba
. We can share as many folders as you need between the two systems. Among these is important

Media folder sharing our Ubuntu system, which is where the devices are mounted USB

when it detects the host system. This is not necessary with version 3.0 of this software which allows you to select whether a USB

we want to use with the host or the guest.

Finally, it is important to install the Guest Addition

, allowing us to make a transition between guest and host computer have to be pressing the Control key to change the option of using keyboard and mouse between host and guest systems. Also allows us the option to cut and paste text between documents different systems.

Once you have received your virtualized system to work. The advantage of VirtualBox is mainly its simplicity. Create and manage a virtual machine is very simple.
The main disadvantage to

VMware is performance. Powerful computers the difference between the two programs can be invaluable, but for teams of resource fair notice that optimizes VMware best means at its disposal to virtualize.

devote the next chapter of special

VMware installation and once installed will see how the machine pays you configured, both at the level of demand with host and the guest. We will see that this platform offers us opportunities and how to get proper operation for our systems.
